SUMMARY

The following command returns text containing the contents of all fields in the message specified by type and ID in Microsoft Mail version 2.00: 
   msmail (textizeMessage, type, ID) => data
In Mail version 3.00, the additional optional parameter of "folderRef" is added: 
   msmail(textizeMessage, type, ID[, folderRef]) => data
"type" is a single message type obtained from a call to getMessageListField. For example, "Mess" is the message type for "Note" messages.

"ID" is a number that identifies a particular message obtained from a call to getMessageListField.

"folderRef" is not the same as the folder name. To get the folder reference from the folder name, use the function GetFolderRef. "folderRef" is only available with Mail 3.00. If omitted, the operation defaults to the current folder.

This information is taken from the "Microsoft Mail HyperCard Interface Documentation."
